About Us

Gunter Stiller was brought to the North East of England as a prisoner of war, during his service in the German infantry in World War II.

Following his capture, Gunter settled in our region and bought a truck in 1954. Stiller was born. In 1986, Gunter retired and his son, Paul, took over as Managing Director, enhancing Stiller’s reputation as an established force in the transport and logistics industry. Now, Paul’s son, Matthew, heads the firm, maintaining generations of core cultural values of customer service, business excellence and integrity.
